53. Talking in the Dark with Robbie Crow - BBC Strategic Disability Lead
Statistically speaking people with a VI condition find it much more difficult to find work than their sighted peers. However, this week’s guest has not only risen to the very top of his profession but he has also been recognised as one of the most influential disabled people in the UK.
This week on Talking in the Dark Evie speaks with Strategic Disability Lead for the BBC, Robbie Crow.
During this incredibly vibrant interview Evie speaks to Robbie about his life and career discussing many interesting topics including; Robbie’s particular VI condition and his journey into employment after University, the impact learning about the social model of disability had upon his life, and the many wonderful benefits to be gained from employing disabled people within a workforce.
This was a brilliant conversation with a very significant person and we thank Robbie very much for his time and insights.

Another great interview Evie, well done to you. Robbie certainly is using his marketing degree well in his answers with really good insight to his current role, plus past experiences he has had. I would not of known about Robbie at all if it wasn't for you, your team and your CZcams channel. So again thank you. Keep going, already you are a fine journalist, BBC Newsnight presenter in the future?
Loved going to camp with you-seth
Hi, I stumbled across this youtube interview and enjoyed the content. It would be great if you could stay intouch with Gary and interview again as he has some fascinating insights and stories to tell. Keep up your great efforts.
Thanks Paul! Yep, we value our guests and do keep in touch with all the people we interview :) Gary certainly is a wonderful person with incredible knowledge and stories to talk about. We felt very privileged to speak with him :) Thanks for commenting!
Stephen Fry rocks! Great interview. 💯✅
Awesome interview Evie.
Wow Evie. I've just listened to your podcast interview with Stephen Fry. That must have been quite an experience to you as he is such a good and entertaining speaker. I have grown up watching and listening to him in many roles and have always enjoyed his performances. Listening to him talking about the Harry Potter books brought back many happy memories of having you reading the books to me from hard copy and electronic braille. I'm so impressed with your confidence and interviewing skills and I'll say to you now what I said when I retired - 'you will go far in this world!' So do believe in yourself and I look forward to more podcasts and to following your career.
Thank you for organising this and having a great conversation with Keith. Peter Barrett. Member of Viable😊
